How do I learn what courses and credits will transfer to NMC?

Nebraska Methodist College may accept credit for courses taken from any educational institution provided that it is accredited by a regional accrediting body and, where applicable; the program is approved by the state and is accredited by professional organizations. NMC has articulation agreements, formal agreements between institutions to provide guidance to students regarding transfer of credit, with a number of regional institutions.

Courses will only if a grade of "C-" or better is achieved at the certificate and undergraduate levels and a grade of "B" or better at the graduate level.
